One-third of patients who develop CPN palsy proceed to chronic impairment without signs of recovery.

Ankle-foot orthoses can provide improvement with respect to gait dysfunction and are useful as a nonsurgical treatment option.
»:
Severe cases of CPN palsy demonstrating no signs of recovery may require operative intervention with tendon transfer.
